[A pause, over the phones.]

Tenth-- don't go to the dairy. Please. You're strong and could probably handle that thing, but. [Another pause.] Don't for now.

...forgive me.

[That's all he has to say. He didn't filter it, just as a sign to let everyone know that he was alive and well, after his stupid attempt to break into the dairy on his own. He

[ Yamamoto doesn't even have time to hear that feed. It's a little too late, considering they were at the dairy. ...And they already knew what had happened to Gokudera, basically.

Needless to say, Yamamoto was pissed. But that was in the back of his mind, considering the Milk Mech cruising through town (which was slightly hilarious while also being incredibly terrifying). But whatever, Dean had given him fifteen minutes to find Gokudera before he came back with the impala.

So he had ran from the middle of town, all of the way until he got to Gokudera's door, pounding on it pretty hard. ]

[ohmytenth]

[Gokudera had heard the rumbling, and was getting his boxes and shit together. Just before he happened to leave, he heard someone pounding on the door. Of all the goddamn times.

He opens it.]

I'm busy! Go the hell-- [Yamamoto.] What do you want?

[ignorant]

[ He's panting, for once in his life, as he stands on the door step, staring at Gokudera. Because he's there, and his bike, and the dairy.

...Fifteen minutes. ]

Wha... What? There's a mecha on the loose, I came to get you.

[ohmytenth]

[He shifts a little on the doorstep. At this point, he has no idea that Yamamoto had been at the dairy, nor that his bike was even still there. Che.

Wait.]

A what?! Shit, when did that happen?! Does the Tenth know!?

[ignorant]

At the dairy. The milkman.... [ IT WAS BIZARRE OKAY? He sort of waves around, gesticulating and trying to get his point across. ]

--Ah! Tsuna knows. He's with Dean and Castiel. They're going to go get Empress.

[ohmytenth]

[Those guys...]

Shit, wait, you were at the dairy?! What the hell, I just said not to--

[ignorant]

[ GOKUDERA, INTERRUPTED. ]

--Yeah, we were there.

[ A hint of a frown starts to show through. A deep one. Amused? Not particularly. ]

Said not to what? When we came by, you weren't here. ...We found your bike.

[ohmytenth]

...shit. [He pauses.] I went to check it out. There was something off about it.

[ignorant]

[ And let's just say they've moved inside by now. ]

Yeah Tsuna flipped when he saw your bike. It was gone, but we didn't see... [ You. He pauses and takes a deep breath. ]

Why did you go alone?

[ohmytenth]

I wanted to report what I found back to him. [He leans against the door, folding his arms. He doesn't look any more happy about this than Yamamoto does.]

Che... I didn't expect to run into anyone there. I wasn't there because-- [He trails off.]

[ignorant]

The noises? The weird stuff going on? You didn't think anything could have happened?

You didn't think you could have...died?

[ohmytenth]

[Damn it. Even he shows some smarts sometimes.]

I didn't think anyone would be there. That bastard only said that everyone should stay away from the highway, I didn't expect anyone to guard that place.

[ignorant]

You could have at least said something, or at least gone with back up. Me, Tsuna, even Ryohei.

[ohmytenth]

...I didn't want to bother the Tenth. [He sucks his teeth again.] It wasn't supposed to turn out like this.

[ignorant]

Didn't want to bother Tsuna--? [ He clenches his teeth a bit, jaw tightening. ]

Well, it did turn out like this, Gokudera. It did. What, do you think it makes you stronger going off on your own like that?

[ohmytenth]

Hell no! [He snaps back.] If something was going to happen there, I'd let him know first! I wanted to send along information!
